Function
Key enzyme in the biosynthesis of O-acetylated (O-Ac) sialoglycans such as gangliosides O-AcGD3 and O-AcGD2, which affect various processes such as cell-cell interactions, host-pathogen recognition. Catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from a donor, the acetyl-coenzyme-A molecule (acetyl-CoA), to the C7/8/9 OH-position of a sialic acid residue. The primary site of O-acetyl group transfer on sialic acid seems to depend on cell type and can be C7, from which the O-acetyl group could subsequently migrate to the C8 and then to the C9 position, or at C9 with possibility of migrating to the C8 and then to the C7 position.
